Miller 440 Chrysler start up

Jet Boat cruising with the wife
Out to San Antonio Lake (California) for some test and tune on the newly
finished JBP Blown Bahner Jet , nothing terribly exciting , just me and the
wife out for a put on a beautiful day on a nearly deserted lake

SUPER FAST stealth attack boat for the US military and Navy
Another great idea for the us military and us navy . This fast attack
stealth boat will make a difference. GHOST is a super-cavitating surface
craft which is able to achieve 900 times less hull friction compared to a
conventional watercraft and is developed by US Citizens for the US Navy at
no cost to the US government for providing superior protection to US
service personnel. The craft was built by Juliet Marine Systems. The
secrecy orders on the project were removed on 11 August 2011[1]
Design
The Ghost uses a gyro-stabilized dual-pontoon supercavitating hull to run
at top speed through 10-foot seas. Called small waterplane-area twin-hull
(SWATH), it is controlled by 22 computer-controlled underwater control
surfaces. When at rest or moving slowly, the Ghost sits in the water on its
centerline module. At eight knots or faster, the high-grade marine aluminum
buoyant hulls lift the vessel and achieve full stability. Propulsion on the
prototype is provided by T53-703 turboshaft engines, with the company planning to
replace them with the General Electric T700 turboshaft. The Ghost has achieved speeds of over
30 knots, and is being tested to 50 knots. It can perform several different
missions including anti-surface warfare (ASuW), anti-submarine warfare
(ASW), and mine countermeasures (MCM): ASuW armament consists of the M197
20mm rotary cannon and launch tubes that expel Exhaust downward between the struts of the SWATH
hulls, concealing and dissipating the thermal signature of the launch for
BGM-176B Griffin missiles and Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System
rockets, with an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor and radar; an ASW
version could be equipped with an EO/IR sensor, radar, sonobuoy launch
tubes, a dipping sonar, and four aft-firing torpedo tubes; an MCM version
could be equipped with a towing boom to lower and raise two towed
mine-hunting sonars, such as the Kline 5000 or Raytheon AN/AQS-20A. The
current Ghost costs $10 million per copy, is crewed by 3-5 sailors, and can
be partially disassembled to fit in a C-17 Globemaster III for transport if
needed. It is designed for fleet protection for navies with few blue-water
needs but require a small and affordable craft in large numbers for
near-shore maritime border patrol and defense missions; it is being offered
to international customers including Bahrain, Qatar, Israel, Saudi Arabia,
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore. High-level discussions have been
held with a foreign nation interested in 25 Ghosts for a potential $300
million sale. Juliet Marine is also offering a scaled-up version of the
Ghost to the U.S. Navy as part of their re-evaluation of the Littoral
Combat Ship program. Plans are to build a corvette-sized Ghost of 150 ft
(46 m) in length or more costing about $50 million per vessel, six times
cheaper than the $300 million per-ship cost of a current Freedom-class and
Independence-class littoral combat ship. One impediment to the U.S. Navy
procuring the Ghost is the desire of senior Navy leaders to have
large-hulled oceangoing vessels that can also perform inshore operations
rather than smaller craft specialized for inshore missions.[2][3]
Juliet Marine Systems is a maritime technology think tank that is
developing innovative solutions for naval and commercial applications. We
seek to assure fleet force protection in response to small vessel terrorist
attacks against our Navy and coalition ships. There is a clear and present
danger of these tactics being used against the U.S. Navy throughout the
world and in our home ports. These same innovative technologies, applied to
commercial needs, will provide a significant decrease in transit time and
increase in energy efficiency, resulting in the savings of thousands of
gallons of fuel daily.
Our Navy is in a revolutionary period of change. Historic military tactics
combined with modern materials and technology present a formidable fleet
protection challenge for our Navy today. One of the greatest threats to our
Navy is low tech vessel attacks with conventional explosives, as seen on
October 12, 2000, when the USS Cole was attacked, killing 17 sailors and
wounding 39 others and in the continued success of pirates. As a maritime
systems think tank, Juliet Marine Systems provides offensive, defensive and
ISR solutions that are developed in a skunk works operation able to rapidly
invent and construct needed technologies and systems for the Navy and armed
forces. We have already developed a surface variant of a super cavitating
craft and are planning to apply our unique technology in a UUV prototype.
While the GHOST is a surface vessel, the hydrodynamics of the twin
submerged buoyant tubular foils are also a test bed for Juliet Marine's
next planned prototype, a long duration UUV. The GHOST is a revolutionary
proprietary technology vessel platform that will assure force protection
through stealth fighter/attack capabilities along with integrated situation
awareness.

Project Miller Wet test
Two Years back (on a bet) we took a "Bone yard" boat hull destined for land
fill and set out to build a cheap budjet 70mph River Racer , At the time of
this clip you'll see an intiial wet test of project Miller and our Chase
boat, The Motor was a BBC Stroker, full roller, Duall 600 Holleys , MSD
10.5 to 1 Pistons Rec port heads Steel Crank (estimate 550 hp) Turned the
special built Jacuzzi WJ 5100 (AA impeller)The boat ran 79+ "out of the
box" with driver and passenger Sorry the vid is a "dub" from a non
covertable format Enjoy... Tom
note we just refitted this boat with a 440 Mopar +NOS

Chrysler Marine Hemi 354 Jan. 7, 2012
Hear the engine that made America a superpower. This Chrysler Marine Hemi
354 purrs and roars like the big cat it is, and will push any boat you put
it in beyond your expectations. Fresh from a thorough testing and cosmetic
restoration, this beauty will make any engine compartment feel lucky and
warm.

American Big Block Luxury Sedans, 1963-1970
These were the best sedans money could buy back when you could get serious
luxury from the Big Three.
Lincoln Continentals were equipped with the 430 Super Marauder V8 {a MEL
engine also used in Mercurys, hence the Marauder name} in the early 60s,
which eventually yielded to the 462 MEL V8 {the biggest engine in the
family, basically an enlarged 430.} Finally, the 385-series 460 V8 was used
starting in 1968, and this motor was used in Continentals until 1978.
Chrysler Imperials used a high-performance 413 RB V8 until 1965, when the
big 440 TNT motors were used. The 440 was used well into the 70s.
Cadillac Fleetwoods were at first equipped with 390 V8s, which were upsized
to 429s in 1964. Following the 429, a massive 472 V8 was introduced which
provided more torque than any muscle car engine of the day and had massive
4 inch bore and stroke diameters. Finally, the largest production engine
offered at the time, a massive 8.2 liter {500ci} V8 was used from 1970 on.
This engine produced a healthy 400 horsepower and 550 lb. ft.
of torque, all available at RPMs no higher than 3000. These engines
signaled that the excess of the 70s was coming, and of course style began
to suffer. Clean uncluttered cars were replaced with acres of chrome and
ugly front end treatments. These were the last of a line of cars that
started in the 50s, big flashy cars with clean styling and enourmous
engines.

Sanger jet wet test
In 2008 JBP purchased a "retired" Sanger Circle jet race boat , we
re-rigged this as a "Lake boat" with a Blown Big block Chevrolet and fresh
Berkekley jet, Heres one of a few "wet tests" we did in attempst to get
"The set up" right

WESCO V Drive
Wesco v-drive. 440 mopar. Runner bottom. Chopper prop. Casale box. Very
quick and too much fun to drive. Loved to run it loose in choppy water.
This was a very calm day on Okoboji-Lake Minnewashta
